I know more about Zig than C++ at this point, but it's hard to read the article seriously, if it starts with such mistakes. Zig does in fact have an HTTP client in the standard library, there is a tar reader, and realpath hasn't been removed, it still exists even in the std.Io namespace.

Regarding HTTP in Zig, it might be removed in 1.0, if I am reading this correctly. Though Zig std does have both an HTTP client and an HTTP server.
